Air Traffic Controllers Demoted Over Michelle Obama Plane Incident

Oh no they didn't! The FAA announced on Wednesday that all planes carrying Michelle Obama and Vice President Biden are to be handled by an air traffic supervisor not a controller, the Associated Press reports.

The announcement came one day after a Boeing 737 carrying Mrs. Obama and Jill Biden aborted a landing following an error by an air traffic controller at a regional air traffic facility associated with Andrews Air Force Base.
